3 reasons why coffee can make you feel nauseous

Coffee is enjoyed by millions of people around the world for its taste and ability to boost energy levels.

And yet it can cause some undesirable effects.

What gives coffee its typical flavor, namely acids, can cause discomfort even after consuming one cup.

You have acid reflux.
The stomach is an acidic environment and because coffee contains acids, this increases acidity, causing discomfort.

These acids can speed up the digestion of food, which is why some people feel the urgent need to use the toilet after drinking coffee.

According to experts, the acid in coffee can also cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as heartburn, acid reflux, and bloating.

For those who have acid reflux, drinking coffee can cause nausea.

And those who experience chronic acid reflux may be more prone to feeling nauseous after coffee.

Drink coffee on an empty stomach.
Many people immediately reach for a cup of coffee as soon as they wake up.

Coffee, being acidic, when consumed on an empty stomach can irritate the stomach lining and cause nausea.

Caffeine also stimulates the secretion of gastric acid, a digestive fluid that helps break down food.

This can cause stomach upset when produced in excess and can make you feel nauseous.
You are taking certain medications
Nausea is a common side effect of certain medications.

But medications can also interact with the caffeine in coffee, causing nausea.

This may include antibacterial drugs, some antidepressants, as well as asthma medications, etc.

Therefore, you should carefully check medication labels to avoid any unwanted interactions.

How to prevent nausea from coffee?
If you regularly experience nausea from coffee, you may want to consider reducing the amount you consume.

And if you intend to reduce your coffee consumption, do so slowly.

Here are some recommendations from dietitians on how you can get started.

Switch to low-acid coffee
Low-acid coffee options include decaf, espresso, and iced coffee, which are gentler on the stomach.

Add milk
Adding milk to coffee can reduce the acidity and make it more tolerable for your stomach.

Drink coffee after a meal
To reduce nausea after drinking coffee, try consuming food before drinking coffee.

Eat foods rich in calcium because it helps neutralize stomach acid and coffee.

Also make sure to consume sufficient amounts of water.
